South Africa has been fined for maintaining a slow over-rate against England during the first One-Day International at Headingley, Leeds, on Wednesday.

Andy Pycroft of the Emirates Elite Panel of ICC Match Referees imposed the fine after AB de Villiers’s side was ruled to be one over short of its target when time allowances were taken into consideration.

​As such, de Villiers has been fined 20 per cent of his match fee, while his players have received 10 per cent fines. De Villiers pleaded guilty to the offence and accepted the proposed sanction, so there was no need for a formal hearing.

The charge was laid by on-field umpires Tim Robinson and Rod Tucker, third umpire Chris Gaffaney and fourth official Michael Gough.
